The upcoming August 2024 reporting season will draw the line under a difficult year for Australian retailers in which they navigated soft demand and soaring labor costs. The combination results in a profit margin crunch and declining earnings for many retailers.
Coles' market-leading position and difficult-to-replicate store network are competitive advantages over smaller existing competitors and any new entrants.
Coles could face significant loss of market share to Woolworths, new entrants like Amazon Fresh, or to existing competitors with higher sales growth rates like Aldi and Costco.
